No substitutions and no problems. I've been trying recipes from Food Network for years and I have to say that I have never been disappointed! It does amuse me to see how other cooks trash the recipe with such descriptors and "Yuck!" and "it ruined my dinner!" When I want to try a recipe I look to see if the ingredients are things I like and are easy to find, I taste as I go, and most importantly I follow instructions. I teach software for a living and I'm always surprised by students who don't follow directions and yet blame the software or the instructor.
This is a great pie. I made it the day before. The peanut crust is excellent and great for those who can't consume gluten or wheat! I would make it again. Yes it's rich but what do you expect from Emeril?

YUM! I substituted the peanuts in the crust for some oreo cookie crumbs and skipped the chocolate glaze. This was the best peanut butter chocolate pie I have ever tasted! It is nice and thin, more like a tart. I will defiantly make again!

I've made this a few times and both times tasted great but how big of a hit depends on your crowd. One crowd loved it and it was gone before every other desert. One person even said it tasted like peanut butter cups on steroids! The other event everyone thought it was too rich and ate the fruit salad instead but both times it tasted great! I love this pie but it is rich so make sure to make it for someone who loves peanut butter & chocolate together and don't mind a really rich taste!

This took a lot of time. Made it on Father's Day for my Hubby. I sure wish I hadn't. Bad, bad, bad! The crust was impenetrable. After chiseling a few pieces off and tasting it my husband and I agreed to throw it out. The filling is so rich, it's just too much. My Husband is a big Reeses peanut butter lover. He eats peanut butter by the spoonful. He was eating it clearly to be polite until I gagged on it. I can not fathom why anyone reviewed this well. If I were to make another peanut butter pie I'd just buy the mix that Jello Pudding makes. Too much time for this, too disgusting a result. Can't make it clearer-YUCK!

I loved this pie!!! I'm not much into pies nor am I into peanut butter.. but this was GREAT. I had to double the peanut crust in order to fill the 10 inch springform pan. I also user semisweet chocolate for the ganache- bittersweet is too fancy and bitter. I made a litle more of the chocolate ganache : Also, after making the "pudding" over the stovetop, be sure to strain the mixture before adding the peanut butter. If any eggs cooked, this will strain the pieces out (yes, there were a few pieces of cooked egg both times I made this. As far as the whipped topping goes, I made the mistake my first time making this of heating up just chocolate, cooling it, and folding it in with the whipped cream. It wasnt like chocolate whipped cream, it was polka dotted. The 2nd go round, I mixed a little whipping cream in with the chocolate and melted it. It was very smooth and glossy and folded into the whipped cream well!!! THIS WAS A GREAT PIE!!!!

Had a pie contest at my church so I thought I would give it a shot. Turns out this bachelor beat a bunch of veteran cooks! My pie got the best tasting award. If you like peanut butter you will love this pie.

This was the best PB pie I have ever tasted! I must admit I took shortcuts though and used a prepared chocolate crust added some choc chips to the filling and sprinkled peanut butter cups on the top. Sinful!

This pie is amazing, however instead of making the pie crust I use the store bought chocolate pie crust.
